As the UAE continues to grow its industrial and commercial sectors, there is a high demand for workforce housing that complies with regulatory requirements and meets the needs of employers and workers.
Our team focuses on delivering comprehensive valuation reports that reflect the current market conditions and assess the value of labour accommodation properties. We do an in-depth analysis of factors such as market trends, location advantages, building quality and capacity utilisation.
